The death of a significant figure is a significant event.
Perhaps there's an argument to be made for keeping this content off HN, in a similar vein to the treatment of other political content on HN, if it reduces commentary like yours.
- jMyles 8y ago> keeping this content off HN, in a similar vein to the treatment of other political content on HN "Political" content, to the degree that the word "political" is a meaningful disambiguator or characterization, is not kept off HN. Rather the guideline is: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. This story seems to be square down the middle of this "off-topic" description.
